Park House is thrilled to announce the unveiling of a major new site-specific installation by American artist Sarah Crowner. Conceived specifically for Park House, the functional fountain is comprised of hand-glazed ceramic and terra-cotta tiles designed by Crowner and realized in collaboration with Ceramica Suro, Guadalajara. The basin of the fountain contains a unique and expressive composition, illustrative of the artist's singular visual language. Inspired by colors and forms from botany, art history, and modernist architecture, the installation celebrates Crowner's dynamic spatial abstractions and bold use of color, material. and form.

Sarah Crowner (b. 1974, Philadelphia) received her BA from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1996. She studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France, and in 2002, graduated with an MFA from Hunter College, City University of New York.
